Advanced search

Advanced search is divided into two main parts, and one or more groups in each of the main parts. The main parts are the "Search for" (including) and the "Remove from search" (excluding) part. (The excluding part might not be visible until you hit "NOT" for the first time.) You can add new groups to both the including and the excluding part by using the buttons "OR" or "NOT" respectively, and you can add more search options to all groups through the drop down menu on the last row (in each group).

For a result to be included in the search result, is it required to fit all added including parameters (in at least one group) and not fit all parameters in one of the excluding groups. This system with the two main parts and their groups makes it possible to combine two (or more) distinct searches into one search result, while being flexible in removing results from the final list.

Limit the search further

Here you can limit your search further, your result list will only contain those who match all of the criteria that you fill out in this part (combined with the advanced search from above)

Abstract [en]

In recent years, there have been major changes in society on many levels. Such changes are of course of great importance to many urban residents. The changes we are referring to in this paper, are how people listen to music. On the streets and walkways in e.g. Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, large hordes of young men and women nowadays travel on electric scooters and almost everyone wears headphones and listens to music. Also on commuter trains, subways and buses, most of the travelers also wear headphones and listen to music. Thus, music is constantly present in these people's lives. But at the same time, music clubs and other music establishments, are often finding it increasingly difficult to achieve profitability due to a declining audience interest. Also traditionally successful music arenas such as the opera houses have problems to attract audiences, despite extensive and often very costly marketing. However, the big arena concerts with international artists still attract large crowds. This means that listening to music has evolved into something that usually happens entirely individually or on occasions in very large contexts, like e.g. at arena concerts. In this paper we highlight some of the challenges that young music producers face, due to the changing society, as they develop their artistic activities. The Swedish music industry has for many years been internationally successful and we present some core explanations of the success and also reflect on how societal development may need changes for future urban music development.
